About this property
Beautiful 16th-Century Colonial House in Central Antigua
Our family bought this colonial house in 1965 and has restored it over the last 50 years.  The house, built in 1568, retains old world charm... The house is simply decorated in a Spanish/Guatemalan style.
La Casa del Sol is the former residence of the 16th century Governor of Guatemala. Built around a central courtyard garden, the house has the original cupola, dome ceiling and three-foot wide stone walls.
The house is located in the quiet northeast side of the colonial section of town. It is a short walk to central park and town center as well as restaurants and stores.
Master bedroom has a double bed, skylight and Colonial window. Second bedroom is equipped with 2 twin beds and fireplace. Third bedroom has a double bed and two single beds.
There are three bathrooms with hot showers. Small living room has satellite TV, and there is a large formal dining room. The house has wifi internet.
Self-catering with complete kitchen: gas stove, refrigerator, toaster, coffee maker, bottled water (included free of charge), dishes and cooking utensils. Eat breakfast outside under veranda in full sunlight.
Housekeeper and family live in separate house on premises available for cooking, laundry, housekeeping at additional cost. Nearby bakery for fresh sweet bread and hot hand made tortillas can be delivered daily. Practice your Spanish with friendly local housekeeping family.
Relax in a comfortable yet simple home. Tranquil, picturesque neighborhood, yet in center of colonial Antigua. No need for a car, everything within walking distance. Beautiful sunsets from rooftop terrace. Tropical plants and exotic bird watching from a sunny seat in the patio. Cozy fireplace for cool evenings. Restaurants of all categories nearby.

About the host
Hosted by Jon Jickling

We are a family of three generations, spread over the USA who travel to Antigua as often as possible to enjoy the perfect climate and friendly local Guatemalan people and to relax in our simple, comfortable home.
Why they chose this property
Antigua has a perfect climate, historic and ancient interests, a friendly diverse population of artists, expats, native Mayan people and young travelers.  Casa del Sol is located in the colonial core close to the central plaza but in a quiet street away from the busiest part of town. 
What makes this property unique
Hearing 16th century churchbells chiming the hours through the night, watching flocks of parrots squawking overhead, feeling the warm tropical sun and watching the dramatic sunset over three volcanoes.
